NumbersUSA[1] and Fox News[2] report today that Obama may issue an executive order that will grant amnesty to between 10 and 30 million illegal aliens.

“Eight Republican senators and an independent group that supports tighter limits on immigration are warning that the Obama administration is drafting a plan to ‘unilaterally’ issue blanket amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants as it struggles to win support in Congress for an overhaul of immigration laws,” reports Fox News.

Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), David Vitter (R-La.), Jim Bunning (R-Ky.), Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), James Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Thad Cochran (R-Miss), have sent a letter to the White House asking for clarification on the issue:

Dear President Obama:

We understand that there’s a push for your Administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. We understand that the Administration may include aliens who have willfully overstayed their visas or filed for benefits knowing that they will not be eligible for a status for years to come. We understand that deferred action and parole are discretionary actions reserved for individual cases that present unusual, emergent or humanitarian circumstances. Deferred action and parole were not intended to be used to confer a status or offer protection to large groups of illegal aliens, even if the agency claims that they look at each case on a “case-by-case” basis.

While we agree our immigration laws need to be fixed, we are deeply concerned about the potential expansion of deferred action or parole for a large illegal alien population. While deferred action and parole are Executive Branch authorities, they should not be used to circumvent Congress’ constitutional authority to legislate immigration policy, particularly as it relates to the illegal population in the United States.

The Administration would be wise to abandon any plans for deferred action or parole for the illegal population. Such a move would further erode the American public’s confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and enforcing the laws already on the books.

We would appreciate receiving a commitment that the Administration has no plans to use either authority to change the current position of a large group of illegal aliens already in the United States, and ask that you respond to us about this matter as soon as possible.

In February, Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel[3], indicated his boss would rule by executive dictate and bypass Congress.

“We are reviewing a list of presidential executive orders and directives to get the job done across a front of issues,” said Emanuel. “The challenges we had to address in 2009 ensured that the center of action would be in Congress. In 2010, executive actions will also play a key role in advancing the agenda,” added Dan Pfeiffer[4], White House communications director.

The New York Times reported in February that White House officials believe the increased focus on executive authority reflects a natural evolution from the first year to the second year of any presidency.

In fact, it represents an increasing tendency by the Obama administration to rule by authoritarian diktat and a willingness to engage in treason against the Constitution.

The founders devised a carefully balanced separation of powers explicitly to prevent any of the three branches of government from acting unilaterally. Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution grants to the president “executive power,” but this is kept in check by Section 3 of Article II that instructs the president to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Laws originate and are passed by the House and Senate.

In other words, the U.S. Constitution declares that the legislative branch writes the laws of the land and the law of the land supersedes any executive action. No executive order or regulatory policy can override a statutory mandate.

Obama is now a dictator and Democrats fully support his assumed dictatorial power. Nancy Pelosi and other leading Democrats have stated they believe Obama is acting within the Constitution.

Obama, of course, is not merely acting on his own. He is following orders issued by his globalist handlers.

The Council on Foreign Relations[6] has long favored and used its considerable influence to push for granting legal status to illegal aliens. Last July the globalist organization said local police should not take lead roles in immigration enforcement and workplace raids (the CFR issued its opinion after Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas conducted immigration raids and prosecutions against businesses hiring illegal immigrants and also drop-houses used by smugglers trafficking illegal immigrants into Arizona from Mexico).

Our rulers are cynically exploiting illegal immigrants to drive down wages of American workers. This ongoing process compliments more than two decades of globalist “trade” agreements like NAFTA designed to offshore American jobs — the “giant sucking sound” presidential candidate Ross Perot warned about in 1992.

According to the master plan, Mexicans that momentarily benefited from the sucking sound experienced one of their own when jobs traveled to the slave gulag in China. Now many of them — destitute and desperate — are flocking illegally over an open border and are in competition with American workers and bankrupting the states as they fill generous welfare rolls.

Last week we learned about Obama’s plan to ignore growing violence and criminal activity on the border when Arizona senator Jon Kyl told an audience at a North Tempe Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private, one-on-one meeting with Obama in the Oval Office, the president told him, regarding securing the border, “The problem is … if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”

It now appears Obama will not need the support of Kyl and the Republicans. He will simply sign an unconstitutional executive order and legalize millions of felons who have crossed the border illegally.
